I haven't done any long speeches in a while mainly because I longer talk shit about other boards anymore. Since this is a dedication to me, I'll make a big thank you speech full of positivity.
Thanks all of you for the positive feedback, I am glad ya'll like my work. I even surprise my talents because everyday I find out something I can do easily that I never even tried before. The latest one being tags. I've seen so many tags in my day and finally gave it my all with my <a href="http://members.lycos.co.uk/ripscity/bannersntags/ripscitykulatag.gif" target="_blank">Kula tag</a> which is not animated since I never tried it yet - then qube begged me to make a Angel tag and I became a tagging machine from there. I experimented with different fonts and styles with each new tag. I'm still a beginner, but you damn right some better tags will be made once I read up on a few lessons at Creativeminds.org
Ths thread really made my day because I think to when back in day when I was Neo Geo's bad girl during the OT era. Then when I decided to come back here as Tora after a couple failed attempts, I made the sole intention was to get along with everyone instead of being a trouble and it also involved destroying any knowledge of the person I was. I even had planned to destroy any knowledge of my original existence across the internet as well. To do so, I tried to take on an attitude on my heroine, Yamazakisgal. People refered to me as a Kyo-wa ripoff cuz of the third person thing which I gave that part up after a month but if they paid closer attention, it was Yamazakisgal not Kyo-wa who I really took after. The first 3 months it seemed I had achieved my goal of getting the respect I longed for in anime form but then some crackheads had to spoil it by harassing me to no end. I tried so hard to refrain from reverting back to my OT self. Then after 10 months, my cover was blown by one of the guys named joseph (for that, till this day I still hope you burn in hell motherfucker). He assumed it would kill me off for sure but he was wrong. I honestly wanted to kill his ass with one of my Tigresa cliche antics and take out my agression on the whole board itself. But I've been living as Tora so long that it rubbed off on my old normal self as well. Now with this thread, I am finally glad to say I have achieved what I so worked hard for.
I've done drawings, music (midi and mp3), sprite rips sprite edits (needs work still), and finally banners, tags, and wallpapers. And for all the fans here. I salute all of you
